Anthony Trollope's novel "The Fixed Period" was released in 1882. The drama, which takes place in the made-up island nation of Britannula in the South Pacific, centers on the contentious 'Fixed Period' practice.

To make room for new generations and avoid overcrowding, people in this society are forced to retire at age 67 and be put to death. President John Neverbend, the main character, is a fervent supporter of the Fixed Period and sees it as a commendable response to societal issues.

But as his closest buddy Gabriel Crasweller gets closer to 67 and has to deal with the realities of the Fixed Period, his opinions are called into question. The book looks at issues like ageing, death, control by the government, and the moral ramifications of euthanasia.

Trollope questions the morality and viability of the Fixed Period as a means of resolving societal problems by using satire and wit to criticize the political and social structures of his day. .
